Secondary/slave not updating...

[Mark_Andrews at isc.org]

	Simulating multiple systems on one box can sometimes be a
	problem.  What is most probably happening here is that the
	NOTIFY is appearing to come from a different address than
	those listed in the masters clause.  Setting query-source
	on the master should help.
